The Town of Quispamsis is warning drivers to expect delays as the 2026 Street Capital Upgrades program gets underway the week of June 1. The work will see crews resurface, repair, and improve 10 streets across the community through late summer and into early fall.
According to the Town of Quispamsis, the roads on this year’s list are Cambridge Avenue from Quispamsis Road to Grasmere Avenue, Elliot Road from the Route 1 overpass to Corduroy Road, Colt Drive, Pacer Drive, Forrester’s Road, Heather Street, Sunny Lane, Rivercrest Drive, Jenkins Drive, and Antler Crescent.
The town has hired Galbraith Construction Ltd., a Saint John-based heavy civil contractor that also handled the 2024 program. Preliminary site work is expected to begin in the first week of June and wrap up by late August or early September. Landscaping and driveways will be restored once each street is finished.
Residents should be ready for lane closures, detours, and slower traffic while the work is underway. The town is asking people to allow extra travel time and to be patient as crews move through the neighbourhoods.
This year’s road upgrades are part of a $20.4-million General Capital Fund Budget that puts more than $12 million toward road and street infrastructure. The program follows the swearing-in of new mayor Mary Schryer on May 25, who will oversee the construction season after longtime mayor Libby O’Hara stepped down.
Separate from the street upgrades, other infrastructure work will also be happening around town. Watermain installation continues on Cedar Ridge Boulevard and Clarwood Drive, while improvements are scheduled for Hampton Road between Campbell Drive/Pettingill Road and Pinewood Crescent, Millennium Drive from Shannex Drive to beyond William Court, and Market Street. Crack sealing is also planned on various streets.
